Interpretation Risks

01
Cannibalization.
Some customers could have bought earlier than planned.
02
Margin.
The growth of pieces is not equal to the growth of profit after the discount.
03
Repeat.
We need to check if customers return after the promo without a new discount.

Conclusion for owner

The promotion has proven the elasticity of demand, but the next launch cannot be evaluated by pieces only. The main KPIs are gross margin, repeat purchase without discount and the share of orders that did not eat up future demand.

Next test

A
Launch a holdout group without a promo to more accurately separate the organics.
B
Make two offers: a discount on entry and a bonus on replay.
C
Count the result after 30 and 60 days, not just on the day the promotion ends.
